Yes, correct. I even reconfirm with her but I did not show her the terms as BCC showed though.
She somemore said what the previous lenglui told me about payment of interest every 6 months for option '3' is not right

There are inconsistencies in what bank staff told their customers. Differ by bank branches. doh.gif shakehead.gif

*
ok, for joint acct, you can use one of the CASA acct for the depositing of FD interest. But the 12 mth one do not give interest every 6 mths.

It is Maybank Islamic FD. Just like the 4% 12 mth with upfront interest mentioned earlier, they do not advertise it. Will find out more on Tuesday as I am interested in this one. It is even better than the 5 mth AmBank 3.85% which I placed this week. Using these to "wait" for OPR increase.  smile.gif
*
The 3 mth 3.87% FD is MBB conventional FD. New fund 3.87%, existing fund 3.7%. Also have to be fund from 3 other specific banks (but some Maybank branch did not really insist on it). Did not ask other details as was rushing to do other chores.

For 3 mth, the 3.87% is probably the best, I think. biggrin.gif Placed the FD so as to wait for any possible OPR change later.

Ah Boom, come join in ! rclxms.gif

Should be able to, but I did not ask about the minimum placement amt needed, so better call to ask first. smile.gif If they ask you, have to answer it is from the 3 banks. tongue.gif

Ask for 3 mth 3.87% conventional FD for new fund. Then any minimum amt required. smile.gif

OK, checked the cert, it is actually first 2 mths 3.7% and 3rd mth 4.2%, average 3.87%. biggrin.gif

me too. i called 2 branches & got 2 diff answers:

branch A - for avg 3.87% min RM100K, else min RM20K ave 3.7%

branch B - for avg 3.87% min RM50K must be cheq from cimb or rhb, else min RM25K from anywhere ave 3.7%

really confused already now

mr bbgoat, can pm me which branch you did your transaction pls?
*
Oh you spilled the beans on the banks. Oh well, the 3rd bank is MBSB.

It looks to me even MBB each branch implement procedure differently. Last week 12 mth 4 % FD got the cert same day. Today 3 mth 3.87% personal cheque have to clear first before getting the FD cert. Diff MBB branch. One other branch suggested me to get bankers cheque from one of the 3 banks for the FD promo. hmm.gif Interesting !

Where are you located ? I am in Penang. smile.gif

Today went to RHB and found out that the 15-mth step up promotion has closed from 1-Oct.

Uplifted my 3-mth FD with BR (after 2 time of renewal) and didn't notice they adjust the maturity date by 1 day later (for BR whenever maturity date falls on a holiday they will auto adjust the new maturity date to the next working day)...
I only realized after signing all the withdrawal and IBG forms...and they refused to change saying that the money already transferred to the destination bank.. end up losing interests for premature withdrawal by 1 day!!!

Painful lesson.. anyone has similar experiences before?

I am pissed off that the BR staff never reminded me of the new maturity date..
*
For RHB, the same thing happened with my relative. Ask the bank to call their HQ. The promo was supposed to end by 30/9 (alr'dy extended). But then as they did not meet their target, it is extended. Up to yesterday my relative got the 15 mth promo after asking the RHB branch to call their HQ. smile.gif

I placed one more FD on 1/10 after the RHB BM whom I know volunteered to ask for me. biggrin.gif

Even MBB diff branch has diff procedure. shakehead.gif One branch accept my cheque and issued FD cert. same day. Another branch said wait for cheque to clear first (2 days later) before issue FD cert but count from the day I was there.

But for your case, you should be able to use it to place the FD, just a matter of when you can get the FD cert. hmm.gif

Hello all,

I have a FD processed for the passed three years. I just found out I lost the certificate.
What do we need to do if we need to close the FD and take the money out?

Will bank impose some cost if certificate lost?
*
As some have answered you, it depends on the bank. UOB do not require the FD cert. Just your IC will do. smile.gif

In BR today. They just raised their 12 mth rate to 4.1%. The staff showed me a slip with the new rate. 24 mth 4.2%, 5 years 4.5%.

The staff again pestered me not to withdraw the FD. Still IBG it out. But the IBG cost only 30 cent this time. Last time was RM2, I think.

One more thing, she said no more nego rate ! shakehead.gif

MBB 4% upfront interest over already.

SCB wise, the best rate so far. I heard (not confirmed yet) going to end soon. Likely they have hit 500M target. smile.gif

Ah Boom, remember the issue with BR paying interest on 1st of the month for some FD certs ? Those affected one they are supposed to pay the add'l days when they matured. I calculated the one that was matured today and they did deposit the add'l days interest. rclxms.gif

Can't remember the name, need to check the cert. But it is the one that they pay out on the 1st of the month. At least they are honest in paying out the add'l interest on the maturity date. smile.gif

SCB 4% Bonus Saving plan was making me crazy for past few days.. Now I know how does it work since
after visiting another SCB branch couples of time, and also calling SCB hotline many times.... sad.gif

Step by step like this:

(1) Join SCB priority banking

(2) Deposit minimum RM 10K fresh fund to JustOne current account during any day in the month for 6 months.

(3) Use online banking to transfer RM 10K from JustOne current account to JustOne saving account on the same
day to earn 4% interest in saving account, because current account has no interest.

(4) As long as deposit RM 10k fresh to current account every month, all money deposited to saving account during
6 months promotion period will get 4% interest.

I think this plan is good for consolidating small funds while still can earn 4% interest (actually maybe slightly lower than 4%)

I went to May Bank to withdraw money this afternoon, below was the conversation:

Me: Encik, May Bank ada FD ke..?

Staff: Ada, kita ada 3.7% untuk 3 bulan sekarang

Me: Bukan 3.87%..?

Staff: Oh.. yang itu mesti bawa check dari lain bank..

Me: Ya.. saya tahu, saya ada dengar khabar angin..

Staff: Ya ke.. angin besar ke..? (Staff looked panic..  biggrin.gif .. Ha ha..quite funny..)

Me: Saya ada dengar ramai orang cakap mesti bawa check dari, CIMB, RHB dan MBSB, betul ke..?

Suddenly one famale staff came to join our conversation...

Female staff: check dari lain bank pun boleh

Me: Check dari Hong Leong boleh ke?

Female: Boleh juga. tapi mesti cepat lah, kalau kita hit target, promosi ini akan tamat awal

Me: Ok.. Minimum deposit nak berapa?

Female: RM 50K
*
Interesting dialog ! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

I asked yesterday about the minimum, the answer I got is RM 25k. So, diff MBB branch seems to be quoting different minimum sum for the promo. But they did say it will stop when target met.

Last week the 4% upfront FD stopped the day I went in. Initially said several days after the day I went in. Then in the afternoon, one MBB lady called me (she met me whiling placing the FD) said ended that day. sad.gif

I guess MBB original plan is:
(1) Check from RHB, CIMB & MBSB: 3.87%
(2) Check not from these 3 banks: 3.7%

Ha ha.. I think MBB realized they are making mistake to irritate these 3 banks..
But MBB hair is already wet.. biggrin.gif

They told me the 3 mth 3.7% is for current fund. But it could be just a cover up story. They said they cannot advertise the promo, obviously ! nod.gif biggrin.gif

The MBB BM invited me to the office. Said they are targeting within 1 year to catch up to be the biggest bank in Malaysia again. biggrin.gif
